CHAMBERLAIN,S TOUR.
He Will Proceed Through Scotland
Guarded by Soldiers.
LONDON. April 1.-THE language used
by Chamberlain in speaking at the meet
ing at Ayr has melted the Irish against
him. and he has received numberless let
ters warning him that he will not leave
Scotland alive. Speaking to an assemblage
of $500 persons, Chamberlain said: "The
opponents Of the crimes bill have made an
outcry against the repression OF liberty.
Liberty to what? To commit theft; to
ruin industrious men; to outrage women.
Kisses, mingled with cheers.l What are
you kissing, the crime or the punishment ?"
Here a man rising and menacing Cham
berlain, cried: 1T is not characteristic of
the Irish to outrage womenp' An attempt
was made to turn him out but Chamber
lain said, "Let him Alone" Then he con-
tinued: "Do you want instances of insults
offered women? [Cheers and cries of "Out-
rage; you slander the Irish."] l did not
mean the grossest 0utrages, but personal
violence. Kisses and cheers.] referred
to cases like that of the Curtin family,
where the lives OF the widow and daughter
of tie murdered man were made intoler-
able; like that of the widow of another
murdered man, Byres, who while accom-
panying the dead body of her husband, was
jeered and hooted at along the Streets"
Here the speaker was interrupted by cries
of "Watch YOURSELF" misses and general
disorder. II am stating facts to which
even my opponents might listen in silence
Of horror and shame when 1 refer to the
assassination. A man here says Take
care of YOURSELF Has the time come
when we dare not discuss polit-
ical matters in this country with
out being threatened with assassination?
[Great cheering.] This is the spirit of the
parties in Chicago. l am sorry to know
that they have any representation in Scot
land. [Cries of "They are no Scotchmen"1
That convention besides being attended by
delegates honestly in sympathy with Ire
land, had delegates of a different stamp
paid the outrage mOngers Of England. Mr..
Redmond, the delegate of the Irish parlia-
mentary party, explicitly declared before
the convention that 1t was the aim of that
party to effect an entire separation of Ire
land from England, and that their policy
England impossible. This they seek by
the most immoral conspiracy ever devised
in civilized land by contending for
liberty to violate every law, humane,
and divine. Do you think it infamous to
restrain these men? [Cheers.l Mr.. Par
under the specious guise of warning, that
if the coercion bill were passed there
would be
RENEWAL OF OUTRAGES,
dynamite explosions, and attempts to assas-
sinate our statesmen. This suggestion may
prove the death warrant of some of us.
[Cries of "No."] Well, what happens to in
dividuals is notof much consequence. The
danger is to the commonwealth. For the
first time in English history our foes have
sympathizers within our ancient fortress
Their plan of attack finds encour-
agement from those who ought to
be the strongest defenders of our citadel.
This makes our task more arduous, but we
will not shrink; we will not abate; we will
not yield to threats, from whatever quarter
they come; but we will endeavOr to hand
down to our children unimpaired the unity,
the strength and the honor of our mighty
empire our fOrefatheTS bequeathed uS.'
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech excites all par
ties. The unionists say it is a declaration
of war to the knife. Gladstonians charge
Chamberlain with slandering and villify-
ing his former colleagues by the insinua-
tiOn that they sympathiZe with the perpe-
traitors of the OutrageS in Ireland. and it is
asserted that during his tour through
Scotland Chamberlain will be attended by
a private guard.
AN EXPLANATION.
In the house of commons, in personal
explanation with reference to his speech
at Chicago, Mr.. Redmond said that Cham
berlain in his speech at Ayr had repre-
sented him as saying that the Irish party
were not working for the removal of griev-
ances; whereas, what he did say was that
they were not working solely for the pur-
pose of removing the material grievance of
! the tenants, but to obtain political reforms
also; and, further, when he said that the
| government of Ireland by England was
| impossible, his allusiOn was to the central
lied and beau-autOcratic movement of
Dublin Castle. He believed it possible that
a settlement could be effected honorably
alike to England and Ireland, such as was
offered by Glandstone's bill.
